Book-signing with Author Karen Kain, Parent Advocate for Special Needs 7/19

Author and Parent Advocate for Special Needs families, Karen Kain
is a beacon of light carrying an inspiring message with purpose. In her memoir, "A Unique Life Fully Lived: A
Personal Story of Love, Hope and Courage", Karen has written a mother's
loving tribute to her only daughter in her search to create a 'full life' for
Lorrin, wheelchair bound from 6 months old from a bad vaccination reaction
leaving her a quadriplegic with daily seizures, non-verbal, blind and only able
to blink. Yet Lorrin lived to fifteen ‘full and unique’ years.



Karen shares how she was forced to set goals and made decisions to
create a life without boundaries. The book describes the unique and
extraordinary life experiences that Karen created for Lorrin and the soul
connection between mother and daughter that continues to this day.



Lorrin lived a full life: best friends, slumber
parties, horseback riding, overnight camp, Girl Scouts, and attending the
school prom resplendent in a pastel pink satin gown complete with tiara. She
swam with dolphins, participated in the school play, and she and her canine
companion won first place at her middle school Halloween dance contest.
